Also, back when photos were a rare and relatively expensive proposition, everyone took the process seriously. Oh, and the photographer probably did quite a bit of work in the dark room to clean things up.

Now that every phone is also a crappy camera, no one cares.

I took a picture of a girl at the karate studio because she's a hottie I wanted to learn my new camera better; I used Photoshop to clean up her skin, blur the background saturate the colors, etc..

When I gave her a pair of 5x7 prints she was so damned amazed and grateful that "I got a good picture" of her. I didn't tell her about the photoshop part - she might have misunderstood.

The doctor said it was the worst case of cookie-blindness he'd ever seen.

Yeh she was a pretty amazing woman. She kept her vitality, vigour - and figure until the very end when cancer claimed her. She was ahead of her time. Pretty forceful and tough.

Even though that pic doesnt show her in uniform when they got married she was a fitter/mechanic with a Hawker Hurricane squadron. Grandad worked on Spitfires. IIRC that pic is from just after the Battle of Britain when they got married.
